Like used frying oils, the oil from canned tuna isn’t recyclable and poses environmental hazards. But more immediately, pouring it down the sink can lead to clogged pipes, creating unpleasant odors and blockages. Eventually, you might have to deal with the hassle of unclogging your plumbing. And remember, using chemical substances to clean the sink can be equally harmful to the environment.
The Better Way to Dispose of Tuna Oil:
Instead of pouring it down the drain, the best practice is to pour the oil into a jar or bottle, similar to how you would handle used frying oil. Store it in a cool place until you can dispose of it properly at a designated collection point for used cooking oils.

It’s excellent for seasoning seafood-based dishes, frying squid, making fish soup, or even creating a delicious spread for your appetizers.
